A chip van compared with other options
A big takeaway order arrives late and lukewarm. A van fries on the spot, so the batter is still crisp. Dates make a difference: summer Saturdays and December Fridays are the busiest days of the year. It’s worth asking early.
Why Lambs Green hosts choose us
- The queue at the hatch gets people talking

Organising for someone else?
Wedding planners and venue coordinators are welcome to contact us directly, and we will keep everyone informed on the day.
Parks, greens and streets typically need permission for a catering van. The council or landowner will tell you what they need.
The process
The van needs a level, firm spot it can drive onto, near your guests, which we agree with you beforehand. Evenings in Lambs Green stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; after dark, the queue and the path to the van need good lighting.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the space for the van, then send a quote.
- On the day, we park on the agreed spot and set up.
- We cook to order and serve hot at the time you chose.
- We pack up afterwards and leave the spot as we found it.
Preparing for the day
- Make sure the van can get in
- Leave room in front of the hatch for a queue
- Choose a level, firm spot for the van

Lambs Green: your questions answered
What’s the nearest station to Lambs Green?
The closest is Faygate station, roughly 1.4 miles away.
Do you come to venues in the Surrey Hills National Landscape?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about vehicles and ground, so check with yours. We will work to whatever the site needs.
Can the van park on the street?
That depends on local parking rules. A drive, car park or yard is normally easier; if it has to be the street, check with the council.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: the batter contains wheat. Tell us about any coeliac guests and we will explain the options before you book.
What do we need to supply?
A suitable spot for the van and permission to park there. Mention any power or water available and we will confirm the rest.
Can fish and chips be the only food?
Yes. A portion of fish, chips and peas is a proper meal, and you can add your own cake or desserts.
How much is fish and chip van hire?
Every booking is quoted individually, so the price fits what you need. Tell us your date and rough numbers and we will reply with a price.
Is everything cooked fresh?
Yes. Everything is fried fresh in the van, and serve straight from the hatch.
